Hi, 

Could you please update to the latest volatility (2.3 alpha) which is available 
in the svn trunk? Let me know if the problem still persists in that code base. 
There's no standalone exe for 2.3 alpha yet, but you can use vol.py. I think we 
fixed this already, so it would be useful to know if we didn't.

Thanks!

Hi MHL,

I used SVN and the instructions on the source checkout page to grab a read-only 
copy. I'm assuming I got 2.3. Sorry, not too familiar with this.

At any rate, /thumbs up, ldrmodules runs without error now. So I think you've 
fixed it!

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. Yes, when you checked out via SVN you got 
the most recent code (development version of 2.3). 

Thanks agian.
